THIRTEEN DAYS chronicles the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, when American planes took photos that confirmed the existence of a secret Soviet missile base under construction in Cuba for nuclear missiles capable of striking the United States, provoking a 13-day confrontation between the Soviet Union and Cuba on one side and the U.S. on the other. President John F. Kennedy (Bruce Greenwood) had endured the botched attempt at the Bay of Pigs to overthrow Castro the previous year. This drama doesn't waste time on introductions or exposition, giving the story a sense of immediacy and urgency. Advisors like Dean Acheson and the military urge JFK to bomb the sites. But Adlai Stevenson says, "One of us in the room should be a coward," and he asks the president to come up with a diplomatic solution. Kennedy knows better than to fight the last war, but he is not sure how to fight the next one. The president and his advisors argue about what to do ("Bombing them sure would feel good!"), interrupted by "just as usual" events to avoid letting the press or the Soviets suspect that anything was going on. When President Kennedy tells Chicago Mayor Daley that he "wouldn't miss this event for the world," we appreciate the literal meaning of his words.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

build wealth for themselves.

Explanation:

Black South Africans suffered under apartheid for most of the 20th century, a system of strict racial segregation enforced by the government. One of South Africa's most murky unresolved problems is of land reform.  A latest government survey revealed that 70 percent of the land is held by white farmers. Resentment over that basic inequity is the reason that led to land confrontations such as the recent takeover of Stefan Smit's Stellenbosch farm. Black South Africans were desperately want to build some wealth for them.

Describe the actions taken by the federal government to assimilate native Americans into American society
juin [17]

In order to avoid problems with the Native Americans, the federal governments decided to gradually assimilate the native population into the American society.

There were multiple actions taken to accomplish the assimilation.

The Native Americans were granted all the rights as the other people, which enabled them to constantly communicate with everyone else, to get familiar with the culture, and get exposed to the culture, eventually accepting it.

Also, all the Native American children were obliged to visit school and get educated. The education was on English language, and the children were mixing from early age with children of the other ethnic groups, thus becoming Americanized from very early age.

They were allowed and motivated to work in the places were everyone else was working, which led to further assimilation, as the majority of the people were not Native Americans, so in order to fit in they had to merge into their culture.

The central point of Thomas Paine's Common Sense was that it
ki77a [65]

Thomas Paine, a recent English emigrant to America, provided the Patriot cause with a stimulating pamphlet titled Common Sense. Until his fifty-page pamphlet appeared, colonial grievances had been mainly directed at the British Parliament; few colonists considered independence an option. Paine, however, directly attacked allegiance to the monarchy, which had remained the last frayed connection to Britain. The “common sense” of the matter, he stressed, was that King George III bore the responsibility for the rebellion. Americans, Paine urged, should consult their own interests, abandon George III, and assert their independence. Only by declaring independence, Paine predicted, could the colonists enlist the support of France and Spain and thereby engender a holy war of monarchy against the monarchy.
